You can astound yourself by keep
ing census of the finer, more promis-
ing boys in any town, and watching
their progress for twenty years. You
will find the waste enormous. It is
the misery q mothers, the death of
fathers, and the depreciation of the hu.
man race. We have embodied in our
customs the deliberate degradation of
our human nature.-Globe Democrat

A RECIPE TO KILL ENTERPRISE.

Inyest,-nothing subscribe 8
cents cost of collection, so cents ;
draw out Counsel fee, anywhere
from $40 to $50; Secretary's salary,
800; printing bill, anywhere from
$40 to $3.50; Trustees fare, any
where from $40 to S50;--law-suit
contingent, whatever's left.--CoL-
LAPSE A blind bat can see why
every public enterprise started on
this plan, FAILS; but an hundred
horsepower microscope could not
detect speck of public spirit in it.
Another deadly feature that some
times enters IN is FREE STOCK or
certificates issued at a nominal value
for one consideration or another.
The effort so often made to build up
some old enterprise by combining
with the new, is simply throwing
good money alter the bad.
The honest stockholders PAY for
all these experiences in building up
a town, and all the thanks they get
is to he called sold fogies" and de-
nounced for not throwing more oil
their money away.
We are conscientiously opposed to
endorsing anything unless assured
in good faith of an honest and judi
ciouS organization. la

Cor HIS EAR Cur Orion last
Friday, a man named Eliphalet p.
Olmstead, living some miles west of
Shanghaei, swore out warrant before
Justice Mckee, against neighbOr
named Nathan Anthony, for assault
with intent to kill. The warrant was
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriffs
Noll and Hollis, who on Friday night
visited Anthony's house, and found
him sitting quietlyat home. The mans
wife was sick, and not in condition
for him to leave her that night, so he
gave bail for his appearance on Mon
day, and on that day he came before
the Justice. From the evidence adj
duced at the trial, itappears that Ohm
stead went to Anthony's house to col
lect some money, when quarrel ell
sued. Olmstead called Anthony a
liar several times, and advanced to-
wards him, thrusting his hand in his
breast pocket and exclaimed "D--n
you, I'll blow your brains out!" An
thony struck at his assailment with
an axe he had i'm his hand, and cut off
the lobe of his right ear. Olmstead
was knocked down by the force of
the blow, and when he got up, An
thony walked off and left him. JUS
tice Mckee fined Anthony $40 and
costs, and discharged him from further
custody.

A WREcKING COMBINATION.

The Morgantown Post is either de-
mented or "going to go" it's colors,
so steadfastly preserved for life
time. If it is earnestly looking for a
wrecking combination of kickers and
mugwumps against the party in
1888, no better one could be found
outside of Moundsville and Weston.
The Republicans want no child's
play IN 1888, and no kicking ma
chimes " set up to be knocked down.
If the party and the people are not
represented in their interests and
demands by the best tried and true
men Of Republican principles, they
will have to look somewhere else for
encou fragment. The best men must
lead us or none at all. If any more
such little piecesn must be said,
get them off in the outhouses, not in
the public prints and party conven-
tiOnS.

Judge Bond having granted tenn
porary injunctions restraining collec.
tors of taxes in Virginia from bring
ing suit against taxpayers who have
rendered coupons in payment of
state taxes, there is a great rumpus
throughout the state. It is reported
that some ofthe state officials threat
en- to disregard the decision of Judge
Bond If he makes the Injunction per-
manent, as is expected, at the pres
ent term of court. A number of
newspapers advise resistance to the
United States Court and declare
that the state laws are paramount to
the federal courts. This newspaper
talk has a reminiscent flavor, but
there will be no war against the
United States by the state of Virgin.

Compels people to wear clothing and it
takes money to get clothing. With the
present low prices for farm products and
labor, it is just as much ones duty to
buy where they can get the most and
best for their money, as it is to labor or
till the soil, in order to get money with
which to supply their wants. Some
people are foolish enough to think and
act otherwise, but don't you do it.

was abandoned several years ago.
